On the bright side, Leeds seems to be falling apart a little more each game. Red card again? At the rate they're going, not sure they even pick up a point in their last two - probably not more than 2 or so at least.
 
All of this ‘Burnley won’t get another point…Leeds won’t beat Brentford makes no sense at all - have we learned nothing…

Surely it should be clear by now that anything can happen over 2/3 games. Burnley just won three on the bounce, Leeds are just one of those teams who could win the next two…especially against Brighton and Brentford.

Are we in the driving seat? Yes…but we need to step up in the next two home games again - and they will be tough as we will be expected to create chances and have more of the ball again...

A lot was bad decision making in the final 3rd. We had like 14 shots but only 3 on target

Were there any chances you’d say we should have buried? Did we draw because we created sitters and missed them?

A back four and a front three playing close to each other and further up the pitch and we defo create far more, and clearer chances. We’re Everton so might have ballooned them all anyway but that’s life.
 

How any of our fans are happy with that is madness. We are in a relegation battle and that was the 3 easiest points of the season right their on a plate. Most of their team was out, and the 11 on the pitch looked like they couldn’t even be bothered and we done nothing. No urgency, no effort, no desire, just shameful.
 
Frustrating tonight not enough creativity or tempo. Was a bit must not lose rather than win. It's odd because we could have got a buffer tonight its what we know about this team though. It's not good enough they need us to push them to safety. Two key games coming up.

Frank was bitten by the Burnley away performance. We get hammered away when we go to open.

This was his response to the earlier away day capitulations.

Exactly this.

I thought Iwobi was excellent. I just wish he ran the ball towards goal in the first half and had a shot rather than be selfless looking for a pass as it was a moment to be direct.

I was expecting Dele and DCL to come on at least around the 60 min mark for Gordon and Gray then Allan for Delph shortly thereafter.

We had a lot of possession and good moments to either create a chance or hit the target but the players simply lacked quality. E.g., There was a moment late on when Iwobi was in acres down the right and could have had an opportunity for an easy pull back but Gordon decided to shoot (and badly). Frustrating the Richarlison effort didn't loop in.

A win would have all but put it to bed but it now carries on.
 
Why the F did Lampard use 5 at the back and 2 in the mid ala Benitez, we`ve lost pretty much every game we have used that formation, get back to the 4-3-3 FFS..... Frank has dropped a clanger there tonight, you`d think he would have learnt, we cant be throwing points away playing formations that just DO NOT WORK, everyone can see it then why cant our backroom staff who are paid millions.

This is on Frank and this is going all the way, those that think the next 2 are bankers just because they are at home need to think again, those teams are better than us, us fans can do what we like but what affect did it have tonight? Zero

Still very worried that we have to rely on Leeds losing the next 2...... Shambles of a club and the manager seems intent on using the formation that got the last manager sacked absolutely baffling!!!!!
